I love Lady Gaga because in interviews she is very calm, clear, level headed and direct. She always always shouts out and acknowledges her fans. People ask her why she dresses in such elaborate costumes and it took me going to one of her concerts to get it. It unlocks this portal in you where you feel like you have the power, the place and the group of people in which you can express yourself any way you one. It's freakishly liberating. Lady Gaga has raised the bar for what is OK, she has made weird a thing to strive to be, not something to buck against. So many people were dressed up at her concert and the ones who weren't vowed to dress up the next concert and felt left out. Individualism, expression and independence of the self aren't lauded much these days, it's nice to have someone affording us all the lucky opportunity to do what we want and be proud of it. Hold strong in times of vagueness and blandness.

Prescription Drugs Kill 300 Percent More Americans Than Illegal Drugs
A report by the Florida Medical Examiners Commission has concluded that prescription drugs have outstripped illegal drugs as a cause of death.
An analysis of 168,900 autopsies conducted in Florida in 2007 found that three times as many people were killed by legal drugs as by cocaine, heroin and all methamphetamines put together. According to state law enforcement officials, this is a sign of a burgeoning prescription drug abuse problem.
"The abuse has reached epidemic proportions," said Lisa McElhaney, a sergeant in the pharmaceutical drug diversion unit of the Broward County Sheriff's Office. "It's just explosive."
In 2007, cocaine was responsible for 843 deaths, heroin for 121, methamphetamines for 25 and marijuana for zero, for a total of 989 deaths. In contrast, 2,328 people were killed by opioid painkillers, including Vicodin and Oxycontin, and 743 were killed by drugs containing benzodiazepine, including the depressants Valium and Xanax.

Totally Forgot It was Snow Crazy in the East
I'd been so distracted by our CRAZY rainfall and temperatures in the low 60's that I forgot there was a frenzy in the East a veritable mayhem of confusion!!
From Slate Blog:
We're Totally Snover the Blizzard Headlines
We know, we know, the entire nation is under assault by blizzards. Schools are closed in New York. Flights are canceled in Chicago. The House of Representatives is shut down in Washington. But please, can we dispense with the cutesy snow headlines? The Washington Post is, as far as we can tell, the worst offender. Yes, D.C. has suffered a lot this year, and the Post's editors have had plenty of time to hone their pun-writing skills. But right now we've got "Snowmaggedon," "The New Snowcialism," and "Oh snow you didn't," on the home page alone. There's only one word for that: snoverkill.

If only the east could ship some snow to Canada where they fear there won't be enough snow for the Winter Olympics. What the hell do they do if there is no snow? Tons of people are traveling there, booking hotels to view the games. Athletes ahve trained YEARS to compete. Canada has pumped huge sums of money into the city to get it Olympic ready. I heard its even to warm to make fake snow. Now THATS a crisis!!

Men vs. Women Rant Spawned from Car Commercial
A saw a ridiculous commercial this last weekend. The Dodge Charger commercial had me cringing, then seething. It depicted the most forlorn depressed men you've ever seen, the monotone sullen announcer ran down a list of things the men were forced to do in order to justify their buying a Dodge Charger. The list was pretty much what a fucking adult man in a relationship SHOULD be doing. Shit like going to work, personal hygiene and common social normalcy. Guys have become such brazen whining useless pussies that putting down a toilet seat and walking the dog makes them think they are awesome enough to buy a $30,000 car. Even though they would probably take it to get washed instead of doing it themselves, wouldn't know how to do their own oil change or even think ONCE to take your ass to a nice restaurant or picnic with it. Every single solitary, NO LIE, girlfriend I have makes more money, works more hours, has more responsibility and is more educated then the men they are married to, dating, or friends with. Some men marry horribly lame women so they can have regular sex and because they FEEL BAD telling a girl they've dated for awhile they they are moving on. They are way to pussy to do what is right. So they dig themselves in these joyless relationships and get cars to make up for their sheer unhappiness and drudgery. Both men and women are to blame.
It's a crying fucking shame. What is an educated, smart, independent woman supposed to do when she is forced to choose a guy from a pool of useless idiot teenager acting bro's??!!??
Charger commercial:
1. -I will get up and walk the dog at 6 AM (Bravo, chances are the dog is YOURS)
2. -I will eat fruit as part of my breakfast (Waaaa, I wanna eat Lucky Charms!)
3. -I will shave (Thank you for not acting like a caveman)
4. -I will clean the sink after I shave (Thank you for acting like you were raised around humans)
5. -I will be at work at 8 am (Everybody has to work, get the fuck over it)
6. -I will sit through 2 hour meetings (Your fault you picked a corporate job you stiff)
7. -I will say Yes When you want me to say yes (Have your own opinions you pussy!!)
8. -I will be quiet when you don’t want to hear me say no (Be assertive, get a spine, be a man!)
9. -I will take your call (Wow. Thanks so much to talking to me. So sorry that I'm interrupting your exciting life)
10. -I will listen to your opinion of my friends (If they are like you you could probs do without them)
11. -I will listen to your friends opinions of my friends (See above)
12. -I will be civil to your mother (Thank you so much for not being rude to my family. Since your mom is such a PEACH too)
13. -I will put the seat down (It's not an anal thing men!! Without the seat we fall in and it hurts!)
14. -I will separate the recycling (I know plastic bottles are heavy and hard to handle, thanks for this)
15. -I will cary your lip balm (Chances are you have your own lip balm you metrosexual peice of shit)
16. -I will watch your vampire Tv shows with you (You married a twit with a fast degrading hot body, your fault)
17. -I will take my socks off before getting into bed (Again, grow a pair and assert yourself over an anal bitch)
18. -I will put my underwear in the basket (Thank you, I was getting sick of your dirty draws being on the night stand)
And because I do this:
I will drive the car, I want to drive (i.e. because I operate within the most simple of adult male bounds I should get a car)
Charger, Man’s Last Stand (Nope, driving a car is not man's last stand. TAKING CARE OF YOUR SHIT and BEING A FUCKING MAN is man's last stand)
(James Bond esque music playing as a final touch)
NOTE: Women, do not emasculate your men give them the opportunity and trust them to help out for once. Give them space, Let them watch the game interruption free, let them have boys night out, shut the fuck up sometimes and don't be an anal nag. Give blow jobs and put out more!. Men, be a man so we don't have to treat you like a little boy, so we can trust you to take care of us. Revel in our success, compliment us, get into foreplay, treat us right, take us out, leave us sweet notes.
If only EVERYONE really really realized how easy it was to please you know!?!?

The God Virus
An interview with Darrel Ray on Point of Inquiry (humanist Podcast):
In this conversation with D.J. Grothe, Darrel Ray talks about religion being like a virus, elaborating on Richard Dawkins' concept of the meme. He explains why the metaphor of God belief being like a virus of the mind is so useful. He details how religion is communicable, and propagated through vectors, just like biological pathogens, and why the rational "immune system" of children makes them more susceptible to the contagion. He explores why some people are immune to the God virus, and how to inoculate children from it, such as through exposure to many strains of the virus early in life.

44th NFL SuperBowl Is Sunday!!!
I don't watch football all season but if you're still snubbing your nose on Superbowl Sunday it's probs because you don't have friends to celebrate with. Everybody loves a good Superbowl Party. Find a bar or party near your house and get drunk and yelling. Few things feel better than being caught up in the shared spirit of the Bowl while not having a care in the world who wins! You just get to kick back, get drunk and eat all the fattening food (Make things easier on your digestion, click here for healthy game day recipes).
At least know who is playing when you show up to party:
THE COLTS vs. THE SAINTS in Superbowl 44
Airs on CBS, The Who is playing the Half Time Show
The Super Bowl 2010 Kick Off Time is scheduled at:
6:30 PM Eastern Time
3:30 PM Pacific Time
Coming as No Surprise: Fresno Is America's "Drunkest" City
In the upcoming March issue of Men's Health magazine, editors name Fresno, Calif., the "drunkest" city in America; Boston will be named the most sober (ironic, considering Boston is home to the bar from the television show Cheers). According to USA Today, the list was created using "data such as death rates from alcoholic liver disease, booze-fueled car crashes, frequency of binge-drinking in the past month, number of DUI arrests and severity of DUI penalties." Some of America's largest cities fell pretty low on the list: Chicago came in at 85, New York at 93, Los Angeles at 48, and San Francisco at 86. The 10 "drunkest" cities on the list, all scoring a grade of F are, in order: Fresno; Reno, Nev.; Billings, Mont.; Riverside, Calif.; Austin, Texas; St. Louis; San Antonio; Lubbock, Texas; Tucson, Ariz.; and Bakersfield, Calif. Looking at the whole list, dscriber noted that "Western states tended to dominate the top 10 drunkest states and eastern states were more prone to be less drunk (with the exception of Salt Lake City—go figure.)" Salt Lake City came in at 97.
"Drunkest" cities:
(First I'd like to point out that cities with fucking public transportation are on the good side of the list. Wonder why?!?! I'd also love to point out that 3 of CA's "finest" cities are on the drunk list. And by finest I mean the most ridiculously lousy armpits of California. The list isn't raking which cities drink the most alcohol, it ranks which cities handle their alcohol the worst and with the least amount of public or personal safety and responsibility. Real Classy Fresno...)
Fresno, Calif.
Reno, Nev.
Billings, Mont.
Riverside, Calif.
Austin
St. Louis
San Antonio
Lubbock, Texas
Tucson
Bakersfield, Calif.
"Least drunk" cities:
Boston
Yonkers, N.Y.
Rochester, N.Y.
Salt Lake City
Miami
Newark
Durham, N.C.
New York City
Fort Wayne, Ind.
Manchester, N.H.

American Apparel Best Bottom Search
Last time I checked American Apparel was all about the "allure" of skin and bones. They somehow use sex to sell without EVER being sexy. Some of the models look like they were beaten and raped prior to the shoot. Could be true...word on the street is, the owner of AA is apprently a total violent d-bag. ANYWAY. Now they want to find the best junk in the trunk for men and women. As a total lover of the booty some of these pictures are downright jealous inducing, some have no chance.

Craigslist Missed Connection: Simultaneous Gesticulating
Runners Raising Roof - m4w
Date: 2010-01-22, 12:37PMI didn't see you myself, but my friend who was running spotted you. You: two college-aged girls, probably at least half-white, brown hair, walking on the path off of N Torrey Pines Road wearing running clothes, at least one of whom was gesticulating in the manner of "raising the roof." Us: 21 and 22 year old pair of boys who frequently and with laudable prowess raise the roof ourselves; hence, the four of us are unquestionably soul-mates. We request that you contact us if you would like to get together and raise a roof or two around town sometime.

Tech Review: Powermat Portable Mat
Powermat Portable Mat
Editors' rating: 3.5 out of 5
The good: The Powermat successfully charges your phone without a wired connection.
The bad: The Powermat won't work with every handset, and you'll need to pay extra to charge more than one device simultaneously.
The bottom line: The Powermat isn't entirely free of wires, but it succeeds at being different and at powering your phone. On the other hand, we don't see it fulfilling a need.

February is San Diego Museum Month!!
FROM DISCOVER SD:
While the onset of February is most often associated with the Hallmark-induced love appreciation of Valentine’s Day and the bead-tossing imbibing abasement that is Mardi Gras, it is also the time of year for locals to enjoy the month-long celebration of San Diego museums.
Created in 1989, Museum Month strives to promote awareness of San Diego's captivating museums, intriguing historical sites, educational institutions and cultural offerings. And with half-price admission, how could you possibly say no? From North County favorites like the Oceanside Museum of Art and the LUX Art Institute to Balboa Park gems such as MoPA, Natural History, and Air & Space, these San Diego museums are definitely worth a trip.
How It Works: During the month of February, you can enjoy half-price admission at 39 participating museums in San Diego. Pick up a free Museum Month Pass at any Macy's in San Diego, El Centro, or Temecula. One Pass is good for half-price admission for up to 4 visitors to each museum.
This February, and all year long, we encourage you to live and learn and discover San Diego museums. To help plan your personalized entertainment schedule, we’ve compiled a list of our top ten favorite museums. Get details here.
The Muslims (The Soft Pack) Doing Letterman!!!!!
Instead of watching my beloved LOST I went to see The Soft Pack play at the Tower Bar. I do not regret my decision, no where near it! They were insane. Local band, Beaters, opened for them, whom I really really liked, well done punk music. The Tower Bar was packed, I love it when it's sweaty and hard to move around! The only sad part was the $2 tall cans have inflated to $5 now!! OUCH. But fuck it, I somehow found the other few people who's body commanded them to dance as The Soft Pack opened up their set. They played old favorites and new songs off their self titled new album released on Feb. 2, you may have their bad ass single "Answer to Yourself" on the radio? They ended the set with my new favorite Parasite. So intense. So intense that me and some crazy girl waving her hair had to start a psuedo mosh pit. Sorry, I do what my body tells me to when it's responding to rhythm. The show was awesome, I just wish I saw it in a city where people weren't STILL concerned with looking unshaken and unaffected in the presence of truly great music!!!
AND GUESS WHAT?? The Soft Pack plays on The Letterman Show on February 12th!!
If you haven't seen The Soft Pack in a small venue you may have missed your oppourtunity folks. They have a show in Philly, NYC and then have a long ass tour through Europe. LONG LIVE THE MUSLIMS (THE SOFT PACK)!!!!!!!!!!
Bag Cereal is no substitute for the box!
The cereal box is not only classic but it's necessary. It holds in the freshness, it supports the crinkly waxy bag within. It keeps the prizes safe (if you're still eating that kind of cereal). It helps the cereal stand up on the shelf, nice and neat, recognizable like a delicious breakfast beacon (or any other meal). But this bag biz just ruins everything. It slumps on the shelf, makes things go stale faster and is a very clear sign of how poor your are now or your parents were when you were a kid. Spend the extra 45 cents, get the box cereal and recycle the box to make yourself feel better!

Huge Debate: The Muslims vs. LOST Premiere
The Muslims (Now called The Soft Pack):
The Muslims (my favorite SD band) play a FREE Show (my favorite price) at The Tower Bar (my favorite SD Bar) TONITE. It's their CD release party and their new album is supposed to be insane. This is one of those times right before a regional band gets huge and you kick yourself for not going to more of their small shows (although I'm pretty fucking stocked up on seeing the Muslims play if I ever needed bragging rights). It's just that I haven't seen them play in over a year and I'm feigning. Haven't been to Tower Bar since the night Obama was elected either. And it's fucking FREE! It will be crowded as hell but that makes Muslims shows and Tower shows, what they are!!!
Only Problem Is......
TONIGHT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOST Airs at 8-11 PM on ABC (First hour is a recap followed by a 2 Hour Premiere)
I have been a faithful LOSTie for many many years. I've put in the time, watched Season 5 again, joined the spirited, agonizing and exciting debates over what the fuck is going on. I love Lost and I can't wait for new episodes. A friend is throwing a party tonight and we're all so stoked. WHY OH WHY does it have to be the same night as this show? Chances are they go on around 11pm and MAYBE I can scoot over there but it WILL be sold out, hands down, for sure. I'm still gonna try though, the adrenaline after what is surely to be an insane premiere might be enough for me bust through the wall just at the set begins!

More Males Getting Breast Reductions
(No Stranger to moobs (or, man boobs), American Idol judge Simon Cowell is pictured at right)
The fastest growing part of the cosmetic surgery industry—at least in the United Kingdom—is breast reduction for men, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. Despite the recession, more and more people are getting cosmetic procedures done, the BBC reported. Nine out of 10 procedures done in the United Kingdom are performed on women, but breast reductions in men saw an 80 percent year-over-year increase, the highest of any single operation type. One surgeon told the BBC that the pressure created by men's magazines was partly to blame. But media coverage isn't the only problem. "Quite a few cases are caused by obesity, and we often say to men to look at their lifestyles before thinking about the scalpel" the surgeon told the BBC. Other popular procedures on men included nose jobs and surgery on the skin around the eyes.

New Comedies Might Be Coming out of Sundance Film Fest!
Ten different films were sold over the course of Sundance's 10 days with "only a couple of the more prominent distributors [going] home without dropping a dime," according to the Hollywood Reporter. "There's a sense of relief and comfort that the market is still pretty healthy," one movie financier told the paper. "The pace of sales is more deliberate now. If you check back in three to four months, I think you'll find more films will have sold than in previous years." Deals don't happen as quickly, and they aren't as big as they used to be, according to the paper, but several distributors spent seven figures on single titles. The Weinstein Co. picked up Blue Valentine, a Ryan Gosling-Michelle Williams drama about a marriage on the rocks; Roadside bought Winter's Bone, a disturbing thriller; and IFC Films acquired The Killer Inside Me, a controversial film that split audiences, some of whom were disturbed by the movie's violent scenes.
Check out possible up coming comedies HERE!
The Standouts:
-Jonah HIl and John C. Reilley team up! Cyrus
-Adrien Brody does a pot comedy?! HIGH School
